1 What wounds should not be irrigated 2 Benefits of VAC therapy (7)
Steps to irrigate a wound with a wide
3 4 elements of cardiac ventricle stability 4
opening
Don't know?
Terms in this set (95)
What wounds should not be irrigated wounds without a known endpoint
PSI of Irrigation tip 7-8
when is an irrigation tip used deep wounds with or without tunneling
Considerations for irrigation wear PPE
warm irrigation fluid
administer analgesic prior
Steps to irrigate a wound with a wide 1, using sterile technique, fill 20-30 ml syringe
opening 2. attach tip to syringe
3. hold tip 2.5 cm above end of wound
4. apply gentle continuous pressure
5. repeat until return is clear
, steps to irrigate a wound with a small 1. using sterile technique, fill 20-30 ml syringe
opening or tunneling 2. attach tip to syringe
3. insert tip 1 cm depth into wound
4. flush with slow continuous pressure
5. repeat until returns are clear
4 concepts of wound packing only use 1 peice of packing
cover entire wound bed and edges but not healthy tissue
do not pack tracts or undermining over 15 cm or with an
unknown endpoint
give analgesic 30 mins prior
Undermining defintion when a wound extends into subcutaneous tissue underneath
undermining considerations not entirely visible from wound surface so tissue damage
extent is not fully known
undermining causes infection, pressure ulcer, and improper wound care
sinus tracts/tunneling narrow opening/passageway underneath skin that extends in
any direction resulting in dead space and potential abscesses
Indications for VAC therapy acute/traumatic wounds, chronic wounds, abdominal wounds,
cardiothoracic wounds, orthopedic wounds, and burns
Benefits of VAC therapy (7) enhanced granulation tissue growth
removes excess interstitial fluid
increased vascularity
decreased bacterial colonization
accurate wound drainage amounts and assess
maintains optimal wound moisture
increases epithelization rate
VAC therapy - contraindications insufficient vascularity
necrotic wounds or 20-25% non viable tissue
bone involvement (osteomyelitis)
malignancy
unknown sinus tracts
fistulas present
increased risk of bleeding
VAC therapy - complications infection
tissue adherance
bleeding
foam retention
pain
Prevena Therapy single use for 2-7 days
convers and protects while negative pressure removes fluid
from surgical incision
PicoVac Therapy - indications wounds/incisions with small amounts of exudate
c-sections, tummy tucks, bilateral mastectomy
non adherent dressing - wound type & slightly more wet wounds and want dressing for slight
dressing purpose absorption
